Not only are these unique mugs made of porcelain, they are made from the best quality porcelain available, fired at 1300°C.
Porcelain is the highest grade of tableware available. It has been made in China and neighboring countries from the 19th century. Its superb quality arises from the use of a mineral rich clay that is fired at such extreme temperatures that it becomes almost glass-like. Its defining feature is when it is broken (no need to try this at home) it will be impossible to differentiate the body from the glaze.
Benefits of porcelain
Durability:
Owning any type of ceramic tableware comes with the significant risk of breakage. However, unlike stoneware and simple clay, porcelain possesses excellent mechanical resistance due to the highly dense material. This makes porcelain incredibly strong and far more resistant to breakage.
Microwaveable
This is fantastic news for you if you like to microwave your coffee often, drinking it piping hot. Porcelain’s high density ensures that the heat is distributed evenly throughout the mug making it less heat sensitive.
Easier to clean
Yes, that’s right! It is naturally non-stick, which means that it is super easy to clean and dry once used. It’s non-sticky property allows you to clean even oily residue (Bulletproof coffee anyone?) with the least amount of effort. Low maintenance mugs sound like a great idea to me!
Dishwasher safe
Thankfully, owning porcelain does not mean you need to start hand-washing everything. In fact it is perfectly fine to put your coffee mugs in a dish washer without a fear of breaking them.
